SHEMIHAZAH is one of the lower-level angels sent down to do work in the realm below heaven. He was given the power to control elements, and he was sent here on an assignment long before Adam and Eve. He’s one of the Sons of God talked about in the Book of Genesis and in non-biblical writings such as the Book of Enoch. “Lower-level” does not mean less powerful. It just means that the work he was assigned to do was on a lower plane. Shemihazah is a being more powerful than any human. The problem is he moved away from his assignment, and he started to “think.” No angel is given the power of thought. Remember an angel named Lucifer Morning Star who thought? Well, that was hell wasn’t it? So, Shemihazah and his thinking is terribly flawed as well. In fact, he doesn’t want to be on earth with the Sons and Daughters of Adam and Eve. He wants to be back in heaven, like 200 or so others. What he doesn’t know is that those angels were not called back to heaven. They were captured by heaven’s war machine and bound and chained in fiery darkness to await their judgment for disobedience. But, Shemihazah has a plan! His plan involves a human soul (angels were not given souls either). The Sons and Daughters of Adam and Eve are the only creations given souls. Therefore, he has to take possession of a human soul to fulfill his plan. It gets more complicated. The idea of a plan involves “freewill” and thinking. But angels were not given freewill or the ability to think. Having a plan involves thinking and thinking involves freewill and around and around it goes. The whole cycle is terribly flawed, and he brings confusion, destruction, and death. The end result is that his plan hurts and he wasn’t designed to care. So, the question is: How can humans stop such a being? Well, this is the struggle the serpent brought to Adam and Eve in the garden, isn’t it? 

JOCASTA WESTGREEN is 26-year-old. She is beautiful, extremely intelligent and loving. She is a 12th grade English teacher, and she loves her job, well most of the time. Mark is her stockbroker boyfriend, who she loves all the time. Teaching is Miss Westgreen’s passion, but it is an exhausting challenge. Her regret is that there seems to be little time for teaching, and it seems to her that she loves the kids more than they love her, or even themselves. At least once a month, sometimes twice, a student calls her “some kind of a bitch.” And, many students come to school damaged from drugs, alcohol and unhappy homelives. So, she is driven by her desire to help her students. Like any good teacher, in her spare time, she reads. That’s what English teachers do -- right? They read boring English teacher-stuff – short stories, poems, plays -- right? Sometimes, they even read books to help their students do better in school. You know, educational stuff. Miss Westgreen likes to read old books. Some information, though, is buried in the past for a good reason. She digs up an old book that contains fantastic information! But she knows how to handle any kind of information. She’s a teacher! And so, plain-old-dull English teacher, Miss Westgreen, evolves to meet the evil that she unleashes. This evil thing just wants what it wants, and it does not like Jocasta’s and Mark’s human connection. On the other hand, it likes her students and it wants to be at school! And she wonders, “what have I done?” But Jocasta is unconventional and daring as she fights the battle of her life, leaving her with unquestionable superhuman knowledge—knowledge lost to humankind.

MIRANDA JONES is an eighteen-year-old virgin. She is quiet and makes good grades. She has no friends and no boyfriend. The kids at school think that she is a down-right nasty bitch. And she works very hard to maintain her reputation, but she never bothers anyone if they don’t bother her. The thing is: she’s a knock-out.

More than anyone’s wildest expectation, including her own! And she takes charge!
